Boost.MultiArray: Extra Notes

Compiler Support

Boost.MultiArray was designed with compiler support in mind.
Interface compromises were kept to a minimum, but efforts were
made to account for C++ Standard compliance issues in compilers
that were popular at the time the library was written. That said,
Boost.MultiArray has been tested with the following compilers:

Gnu C++ Compiler v2.95.2 (compile with -ftemplate-depth-50)

Gnu C++ Compiler v3.0.2

Kuck and Associates C++ Compiler v4.0f

Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 sp5

Comeau C++ Compiler v4.2.45 beta 2 (libcomo beta 14)

Intel C++ Compiler v5.0 (with MS lib v6.0 sp5)

Metrowerks CodeWarrior C++ Compiler v7.1

Boost.MultiArray is known to NOT work with Borland C++ v5.5.1.
Support for this compiler is forthcoming.

Future Work

The following is a list of work that is intended for the near future
-- following the initial addition of the library to the Boost
distribution:

Pursue and document performance issues related to compilers and
implementation.

More comprehensive examples of using the library components.

Extensive rewrite of the user documentation to make it more accessible.
